Cool.


D* has really turned this channel into a draw for subs. They need to promote it more.

I wonder if eventually, with Liberty Enertainment and DirecTV merging, and Liberty having control of DirecTV, along with 50% of GSN, Starz!, Encore, and QVC if "The 101" could eventually become a cable network that would be distributed to cable, Dish, and IPTV platforms.

I have started watching the 101 more and more. Looking for to Oz. I liked the show Smith so it is nice to the see the non aired episodes.

You also cant beat the concerts.

They need to promote it more.

Perhaps the third launch is a charm?

Ya they relaunch again DirecTV might then have 19 million subscribers.

I've been very pleased with some of the content this past year. I watched some stuff I'd never seen and others they premiered: Friday night lights, Sleeper Cell, and I really like the Trailer park boys (new to me).

I've been watching more and more of 101 lately. Trailer Park Boys is one I never miss

Pathetic IMO. A relaunch of this is big news for D* while FIOS and DISH add HD channels. Sad. I like the 101 but its not anything new.

News to me.

So I guess, as I said, they need to promote it more.

To be honest, if it werent for the front page news here, I would not know it was being relaunched now.

I do not watch it that much, but it has good content, and could be a draw. SO, like I said, they need to promote it more:up
